Hmmm, I am wondering right now how different is Line 6 from Apple.

I suspect the OP is sitting back laughing his butt off at this thread.

Almost 5 days and still no sign of the OP.

This is great work by the OP, just throw down a post that's so obviously going to start yet another "Line 6 should do things the way I tell them to" thread, pop some corn then sit back and enjoy the show.

How cool is that?

Seriously, this is funny stuff. It'd be hilarious if the OP were a staff member with the staff placing bets on who'll say what. Let's face it, nothing original has been said here by any of the usual crowd.

This thread reminds me of the Allegiance episode of STNG. Observers can sit back, watch and wager on the underlying motivations of the subjects being revealed through what each posts. I feel as though I'm having a Picard moment pointing out this now clearly obvious intent by the OP and just like Picard, I have decided to stop participating in this experiment.

Everyone else can feel free to keep spinning their wheel and continue to amuse the OP and his friends.

Cheers,

Crusty

My apologies. I didnt realise they were regionalised forums.

Could you please point me to the Aussie Line 6 Forum?

(Actually, its not strictly true that I had NO idea, as the spell checker is clearly stateside biased)

Australia? Where's that?

I'm maybe simplistic but, I think with all the deps, cabs and mics of the HD500 you can imitate the sounds of the new amps and the unit would still be flagship...

PS: Not always possible. The Orange are a bit difficult to imitate... but at the moment no HD unit have them.

the pro is not (as I have incorrectly bunched in before) a floor model persay. I dont include it for that reason altho it needs this patch too and funtions the same... Yea the 500 still can do alot more esp when patched up. I need another status report... Where are ya Hugo?

I would agree (and believe I have stated), that you would expect certain things of the flagship model beyond what we have here...

....but clearly (and I assume we are tactically omitting the Pro here) the 500 still does more and surely is still the best of the model line? I dont think anyone would support the view that the 400 (or the 300) were the flagship models. Equally, I'd expect there are few of us (even us with some gripes) that would change to a 300 or 400 if we could go back and choose again.

Fair enough Oz, and to each his own regarding what we paid for. No one is saying its not a good product. My HD500 does everything it did when I bought it too, except for one. It's not truly a flagship model again until the update, like it was before. Yes you could buy a 3/400 or an Axe II for that matter, and unless it had all the amp models and features as the Axe I did plus more, you would not have the best of that model line then either. But overall like that gocart in a blizzard, it will get you there..., if your happy with that then great .. ; )

Hi Hans,

No problem. I didn't take it personally, and I actually thought your post was very reasonable, apart from not agreeing with it.

but you have to admit that the HD500 was a little empty when it shipped though

And maybe this is where we disagree because no, I don't agree it was a little empty when it shipped.

And how about now, compared with the 3/400?

For me the 500 already does all I paid for so it's definitely not empty, compared to anything. If it gets the additional features that have been put in the 300/400, great. If not, I could always buy a 300/400. Overall though, the extra features the 500 has over the 300/400 are much more important to me than the current extra features in the 300/400. I still think the 500 will have these features one day though and for those of you waiting, hopefully soon.
